FOR STARTERS

At delicious. we’re always looking for ways to use up leftovers, so we’re cheering for a new United Nations initiative that aims to cut food waste – despite its uncatchy name.

It’s called Champions 12.3, which derives from a UN document setting out 17 sustainable development goals. Target 12.3 calls for the world to ‘halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels’ by 2030. The initiative is led by 30 food industry CEOs, government officials and food waste experts.

It’s good that the issue is being tackled on an industrial level but, according to campaign group Love Food Hate Waste, half of all UK food waste comes from home kitchens. So, while the CEOs are making targets, we need to reduce our own waste too. For ideas, see deliciousmagazine.co.uk/leftovers – and tweet us your own ideas using the hashtag #nofoodwaste.
